Sub-Frame connectors or RSB ?

What is the better suspension mod ? I've heard greeat things about the sub-frame connectors, yet same thing about the rsb. If i had enough money i would buy both, but can only choose one right now. Any 1 just have sub-frame connectors on dropped max ? Does any1 have both on dropped max ? My only suspension mod is a drop (eibach/illimunas).

I vote sfc's if you can get them. I don't have a rsb to compare to though, so take that as you will

Can anyone who has the old subframe connectors clarify this? I have heard that SFCs will lower your ground clearance. I already scrape with my existing setup and if the SFCs are even lower than I won't buy them. But if they don't affect clearance I'd love to stiffen up my car a little.

They are not available as of yet. So, if you want something for now go ahead and get the RSB and you can save up for the SFCs. I have the RSB and I like it. I can notice the difference in the handling.

I am in the same boat as you maxima stylze's.... but i am betting most people on here will say SFC. SFC will improve chassis ridgeness, smoothen the ride, and remove possible creaks and what not. THe rear sway i heard can harshen the ride if your car is already lowered. Not to mention the SFC is only like 20-30 bucks more.

I just put on my rear sway bar.... It makes the biggest difference in the world...I can't believe I ever drove this car without it... It really is awesome!!
The ride is alot smoother, and body roll is almost completely eliminated, and it feels alot tighter at high speeds... SFC's are next for me!

they hang down below stock side skirts about an inch, maybe an inch and a half. I'm dropped on sprints, and rarely scrape, so it all depends how you drive. you have to be careful on some speedbumps / driveways, but in general it's not too bad. well worth it.
